From the “What Is the Fedora Project” page:
“Red Hat Linux now has two descendents, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and The Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is an openly-developed
project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation, led by
a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives.“The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux
community to build a complete, general purpose operating system
exclusively from open source software. Development will be done in
a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of
Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule.
The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in
building Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside
participation than in past releases. By using this more open
process, we hope to provide an operating system more in line with
the ideals of free software and more appealing to the open source
community…”
